08.07.2026 IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA Item No.318 CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc. Allowed C.R.M. (NDPS) 1403 of 2026 In Re : An Application for bail under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Lalgola Police Station Case No. 811 of 2025 dated 14.09.2025 under Sections 21(c)/29 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985. And In Re : Tufan Ali @ Mithu and another ... Petitioners. Mr. Arnab Chatterjee, Mr. Avik Ghosh ... For the Petitioners. Ms. Arushi Rathore, Mr. Saswata Chatterjee ... For the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioners submits that the subject-matter of the present case relates to alleged recovery of 283 grams of Heroin and the petitioners are in custody for nine months. Charge-sheet has already been submitted and prosecution has relied upon 18 witnesses. Till date, although charges have been framed, but witness action has not commenced. Learned advocate appearing for the State, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for bail in view of the quantum of seizure in the present case. I have taken into account the chemical examiner’s report which has been relied upon by the prosecution which reflects presence of 6-Monoacetylmorphine and Diacetylmorphine (Heroin), which have not been quantified. Having considered that there has been no quantification in 2 the chemical examiner’s report, I am of the view that the judgement of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Sentu Seikh Vs. State of West Bengal arising out of SLP (Crl.) No. 13987/2025 is applicable to the present case. As such, the prayer for bail of the petitioners is allowed. Accordingly, the petitioners viz., 1. Tufan Ali @ Mithu and 2. Talbor Sk shall be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.20,000/- each, with two sureties of Rs.10,000/- each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned Judge, Special Court under the NDPS Act, 2nd Court, Berhampore, Murshidabad. If on bail, the petitioners shall be physically present on each and every date before the learned Special Court and shall not leave the jurisdiction of the district of Murshidabad without prior permission of the learned Special Court. The application for bail, being CRM (NDPS) 1403 of 2026, is, thus, disposed of. Memo of Evidence submitted by the learned advocate appearing for the State be kept with the record. All concerned parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities. (Tirthankar Ghosh, J.)
